Rainbow Spew Fairyfloss Norns | |

Before you ask, I've already tried contacting Generalflame. She's been quite nice and helpful, but to no avail and increasing confusion. The issue, fairyfloss norns have rainbow spew.
Sort of.
That is to say, at different life stages different parts of the norn may have rainbow spew, or load correctly. What makes this weirder is that according to a PM from grendelflame, Jessica and Liam beta tested them, and I'm pretty sure Liam has a Mac.
Any ideas what is wrong? |

Have you taken a screenshot of the problem?

What lifestage do you want it of?
For example, as babies females have their heads affected, but if they age their heads return to normal for an example.
Also, hope your bee-sting gets better. |

Which parts of which life stages (and for which sexes) get spewed?
I hatched my first ones today, and I can see the spew myself, but to someone without a Kutoka Mac version of Exodus (AFAIK, generalflame, Liam and Jessica), they can't see the spew, so a representative screenshot would be helpful. Just take one of your general fairyfloss norn population.
So far, the spewy parts I can see are the baby female head, baby female feet, baby female arms and hands, the baby male body and baby male legs (but not feet).
Thanks Sam - the swelling on my foot's gone down, so I can walk instead of hop and wear shoes, but shoes itch the rash still. The wars, I have been through them. ![[nwink] [nwink]](/images/smilies/emot_wink.gif)

I've just hatched a pair of fairyfloss for examination, so far, same parts/errors as you described. |

Do we know how many different sprite changes there are, so we know when to look for changes? The fairyfloss norns seem to use the same sprites for childhood as for babyhood, which is typical.

Just resave all of the image files with Jagent's Monk, that should remedy the issue.

Yep, same sprites for baby and child stages. I promise that I am still looking into this, but I don't have a Mac, so it's kind of hard to identify where the issues are. It's a 555/565 problem.
edit: Liam ninja'd me. |

You wouldn't believe this... but what method do you use for converting the sprites from rainbows into non-rainbows in Jagent? I tried saving the images as s16, then converting that s16 into a c16, and ended up with a black box all around the sprite... in game. ![[ndoh] [ndoh]](/images/smilies/emot_doh.gif)

You literally just need to resave them as c16, you don't need to do any intervening steps. Just open and resave.

I've got the whole fairyfloss norn spriteset, I'd asked grendelflame if she'd email it to me as an attempted fix if anyone wants to run it through Jagent. Just PM me an email address and I'll forward them.
P.S. If anyone by now has, or intends to have a Jagent-fixed, mac-friendly version of fairy floss sprites would they mind posting it somewhere for download? I've been having problems with figuring out how to work Jagent.
Thanks in advance. |

I've got one that should be fixed that I'll be posting later tonight when I get off work. I'll also post just the fixed sprites separately for easy replacement.
edit: If you already have the agent installed, download this file and drop all contents into your images folder. If prompted, overwrite all files already existing (there was a small issue with the baby male head which is also fixed in this version):

Thanks grendelflame. ![[nsmile] [nsmile]](/images/smilies/emot_smile.gif)
Also, do you mind if I try making fairyfloss norn-based fanart? |

I don't mind at all Sam. You can do whatever you like with them or about them, they're open usage. |

Alright, hopefully this is the last edit. It seems that I missed one of the baby female feet when I converted the sprites, so that should now be fixed. I've updated the above links to the correct files to avoid confusion about which is the final version. |
